Chapter 34: 34 - Mission Reward!

Chapter 34: 34 - Mission Reward!

Since we had both been drinking today, Selena and I just exchanged contact numbers and said goodbye, promising to meet tomorrow to sign the contract.

I still had a few things I wanted to ask her, because since our contract made it clear that I would be the administrator of my social media accounts, in my opinion, the money from the income from MeTube and other social media should be exclusively mine, since they weren't doing anything about it.

Of course, over time, the money I would make from gigs and speaking engagements would far outweigh the money I was making from MeTube and Spokify, but I knew it was possible that I would be making a few hundred thousand or even millions of dollars a month from it in the future, and since I was the only one in control of it and responsible for making it grow, I didn't feel it would be fair to share that amount with them.

So that was one of the things I put aside to talk to Selena about tomorrow.

But for tonight I just wanted to enjoy the bar!

A new band took the stage to continue their set while I quickly went backstage before returning to sit with my parents and enjoy the evening.

I went backstage to get Mark and Frank's phone number, without Jannet seeing me of course. I really enjoyed playing with them and felt that they had a lot of untapped talent.

With the three new contacts on my phone, Selena, Mark and Frank, I was relaxed because I had nothing else to worry about today.

Until I sat down at my parents' table and everyone looked at me strangely.

"What happened?" I asked confused.

Looking down at my glass and then back at me, Olivia said in a strange way. "You know Noah, a waiter came over and put a drink called Toxic Lake on the table."

As soon as she said that, she started pointing desperately with her eye at my mother.

Looking at them, I noticed that my mother's face was frozen with a deadly expression, while my father at her side was having a hard time not laughing.

Thinking quickly, I tried to remain calm without looking nervous while pretending to sip slowly from the glass, but in reality I was trying to swallow all the remaining liquid without looking desperate.

After I finished, I replied to Olivia. "I think he must have made a mistake when he wrote it down, because I ordered a non-alcoholic version."

"Really, Noah? Because I could swear I'm sensing a little drunkenness coming from you right now..." My mom said in a serious voice as she stared at me.

"I don't think so Mom, maybe it's just a placebo, you know? That I'm drinking something that's supposed to have alcohol in it and my body thinks it has alcohol in it and acts like it's really drunk." I tried to make an excuse.

"Give me that glass..." She said as she extended her hand.

I gave her the empty glass, she didn't seem to mind that it was empty and sniffed at it, even licking some of the drink left in the glass and looking at me with a deadly expression.

Shit, I shouldn't have paid for a toxic lake... I thought ruefully, knowing that the Lauren helicopter was about to take off.

From that moment yesterday, my mom kept an eye on us all the time, even checking all the glasses to see if I was sneaking alcoholic drinks.

If my father hadn't calmed her down, she would have made a fuss about the bar selling alcohol to an underage person.

The only way to calm her down was to tell her about Selena and that she wanted to sign a contract with me, which made everyone curious about how it would work.

When I told them that I was about to become a Rank E celebrity, they were very excited and shocked, which showed that I really was the only one who had no idea what it meant before.

That kept the helicopter quiet for the rest of the night.

When I got home, I realized that I was really drunk, and simple things like changing my clothes were much more difficult, which made me laugh, and I finally gave up and slept in the same clothes.

The surprising thing was that even sleeping like that, unlike the hangover I imagined I'd get when I woke up, I woke up early without any pain!

So doing my morning run and selling the two drawings didn't get in the way at all.

After everything was done, I decided to open the system screen to see what my status was.

|------------------------

It was a nice change from the last time I looked, but as I looked further down the system screen, I noticed a change that I hadn't noticed yesterday.

Probably because I was drunk and couldn't concentrate on anything but playing on stage.

[Mission: Your first song was a hit, now make a second song that will captivate the audience of the first song even more, to the point where they become your true fans.

Goal: Gain 5,000 loyal fans before releasing the third song].

[Reward: ???]

[Current loyal fans: 5,023/5,000].

The mission was complete!

I'd finally reached the 5,000 loyal fans required by the mission, so all I had to do was accept the mysterious reward.

[Accept the reward?]

Yes!' I replied mentally, causing the screen to change to the reward screen.

[Congratulations on reaching your first 5,000 loyal fans, this is a milestone that very few people can reach even if they have thousands of followers. Know that this achievement may seem small, but it's in small steps that you complete the marathon.

Reward: Music Selector].

Confused, I didn't understand what this Music Selector was. I thought I'd get another title, since that was the normal reward I got for special missions, but it turned out that this current mission was more important than I thought.

When I clicked on it, the system showed me an explanation.

[Music Selector: A device that analyzes the audience, the moment, the expectation, all available information to select the best music that the user can count on to please as many people as possible].

Surprised, I was worried about one thing.

If I use this, will the songs selected include songs from this world? Or just the songs I know from my previous world?" I asked worriedly.

As soon as I asked this question, the system opened the window of this function where I could filter it as I wanted.

[Songs from which worlds: Current world, Previous world, All].

[Music styles: Rock, Pop, Rap, Country... All]

[How many singers: Single, Duet, Group, All].

[...]

This function had a wide range of customization, where I could find a song in the rock style that most appealed to the people in the audience, even if those people didn't think rock was their preferred style!

That was great!

Especially now that I was going to start doing shows, it was great to know the best songs to sing!

Of course, my first priority was to build up my repertoire, because it wouldn't do any good to go out and do shows without any songs to sing, and have to sing covers of other artists all the time.

So while I waited for my family to wake up and Selena to arrive, I decided to spend some time thinking about what songs I could record next.

Now that the mission was complete, I could record and post as many songs as I wanted since I no longer had a limit on how many songs I had to post to get loyal fans.

Of course, the first song I wanted to record was "The Lazy Song," which finally introduced my new microphone, now all I had to do was choose another song to record as well.

Since I'd played The Lazy Song before and was already used to playing and singing it, the only work I had to do for this song was to design the cover art.

In order to decide which song to play next, I decided to test the Music Selector feature first, as it could help me with this selection as well.

I had a few criteria to fill in the filters.

First, the style of music I wanted to sing was rock, and that was the main style I wanted to pursue for my career. I wouldn't have a problem adding songs of other styles to the repertoire, but the main focus I wanted to maintain was that of a rock singer.

But even though I'm a rock singer, I didn't want to do another depressing emo Linkin Park song that I've done before, I wanted something more upbeat, something more confident, so I put that in the filters as well.

Another filter I put in was that the song would be good with just an acoustic guitar and my voice, without needing multiple instruments to make it good.

I made it a song that I could sing by myself, and finally I clicked the [Start Selecting] button.

When I clicked it, I thought the system would immediately show me the song to sing, but I was wrong.

The screen changed to [Analyzing Data] and stayed that way for a few minutes until I decided to wait and let the system do its work.

I trusted the system to pick a good song, I just hoped it wouldn't take days.

Unbeknownst to me, the data System was analyzing wasn't just the choices I'd made, but the people who were likely to listen to my music and what they were going through to be most affected by my music.

If I were at a live show, this selection would be quick because System knew exactly who would be listening to my music and who to analyze, but since I was about to post a song online, this selection was more detailed and complicated.
